There are many bikes which could satisfy your criteria, but I recommend that you consider one with the clearance for wider tires than you currently ride, like a "gravel" bike. High volume tires at lower pressure can make your ride far more comfortable than anything a frame difference can do. At least 700x40 or even 45, or 650b (27.5) by even wider. Various tires offer a center line ridge that minimize drag on pavement. Youtube channel called Path Less Pedaled promotes this approach, if you're interested in a "supple" ride.
